It stands to reason that a theme about the loss of a loved one can easily be very emotional and touching. But I never felt any resonance from beginning to end. Of course, perhaps the director wants to achieve the effect is real, rather than artificial. This is a good job, such as the husband's reaction when he learns of his wife's death - stunned rather than collapsed and hysterical. And the way he went to great lengths to tell his daughter the news was also in line with that character. Middle-aged, with a mediocre career, safety comes first in everything, and it is best not to make mistakes.
But this is not enough to make a good movie, he is more like a prose, telling it. It's a pity that although I sympathize with the American soldiers who died in the war, it does not resonate. Maybe I resisted the war in Iraq from the bottom of my heart. I believe that if it was an Iraqi, on the Iraqi side, there could be many more heart-wrenching stories than this. It's just that we'll never know.
